I feel sorry for Sam. The problem is a mental one, not her physical ability. Surely there are sports psychologists that she has access to that can help her.

maybe sports psychology is the problem

maybe sam should go out there with the intention to enjoy playing every game - after all, tennis is a game and games are meant to bring enjoyment to the player

It was irritating the way Sam lost the first set with a dumb shot that even a novice should put away. Notwithstanding she was lucky to win the US Open, it is clear that she is not a smart, brainy player. I go not see her winning another slam any more.

A young lass like her who has already made, so I believe $11 million dollars might think about giving a bit back to the world in some other capacity. That would leave a real legacy.

That was the worst choke since Greg Norman. I can't watch her any more

So Sam didn't win or play her best game. It doesn't mean she has become a laughing stock. What a spiteful negative article!

Time for Sam to give the game away. She doesn't have the prerequisite skills to succeed - a good backhand, mental toughness and consistency. It is so nerve wracking watching her play, making basic, silly mistakes.

It is so frustrating for her and for us watching her play so erratically for so long, and I can't see this situation improving, so why persist in flogging yourself?

time to leave the circus and do something useful woith here life that will make it more meaningful
